Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 2263: Surging power

"Great One, we have finished reclaiming the southern lands."

"Great One, there are two people on the watch list that are about to ascend as well."

"Great One, how should I finish off this relic?"

As time passed, there were more and more people that had ascended to the divine realm.

Percival had only been the first of many.

After all, the hero system was something that just naturally created demigods like them. It was something that created people that were far stronger than normal people, so it was only normal that they would reach this point.

Not to mention that the heroes were in positions where they would be worshipped by people all the time.

So it really was just the perfect system for this.

Of course, it wasn’t as if all the heroes had been able to become demigods in the end.

After all, it wasn’t as if just anyone could become demigods.

Those that were average only remained as mortals, it was only those that were at the peak of the hero system that were able to become demigods.

But beyond that, there were those that had even become gods in the end.

Since the arrival of Percival, I had been giving them guidance on how to gain followers and guide the people of this world.

It didn’t take long for Percival to become a god since he already had quite a bit of faith built up in this world. The things that he had done when he was still alive had been quite substantial and he had lived quite a long life.

In fact, there had even been people that had already worshipped him in the beginning.

Once he became a god, that was when I told them that I was the God of Creation.

I told them that I was the one that had created this world and that the Black Tide that they faced was a natural phenomenon.

There were some that found it hard to believe this when they heard it, but they had no choice but to accept when I showed them the creation divine energy.

Once they had become demigods, they were able to tell the difference between divine energy. At the same time, Percival who had become a god was even more adept at figuring out things like this.

Which was why it wasn’t hard to convince them of this.

Once they were convinced, they started acting as if I was their leader.

The way that they acted was similar to how the gods acted around the real God of Creation.

But then again, it wasn’t as if this was a bad thing since this was how I wanted to be treated. I had wanted to learn more about the God of Creation and the power that they wielded, so the best way was to become the God of Creation.

As more and more of them gave me faith, I could feel my power surging.

At the same time, I learned that as long as one had the faith of a god, they would be able to draw on their power as well. In a sense, it was almost as if one had control over the god since as long as I wanted to draw all their power...

It would be like a battery that had been drained of all its power.

It wasn’t as if the god would die, but it certainly wasn’t as if it would be a good experience for them.

Though so far, it wasn’t as if I had to use that power just yet.

The one other benefit of all these gods was that there were more and more gods to create relics with.

I had given up on the idea of watching this world end just to see what would happen.

Right now, I wanted to see what would happen if we were to push back the Destruction.

Which was why there were more and more heroes that arose in the end.

With more and more relics, there were more and more heroes that gained power beyond what a normal hero would have.

As such, the Apostles of Destruction really couldn’t do anything against them.

It wasn’t as if there were the Four Omens in this world, so there really wasn’t much that they could do against the growing number of heroes and gods. The Four Omens were something that had been developed over a long time by the God of Destruction.

Apostles of Destruction on their caliber weren’t things that could be obtained that easily.

It was something that took a lot of effort and luck to find.

So that was why it was only a matter of time before the Black Tide was completely suppressed.

Unless the Heart of Destruction was able to find something that would turn everything around, but that was unlikely since this was just a splinter.

It didn’t have the same wisdom that a God of Destruction would have.

Once all of their questions had been answered, I suddenly asked, "How are we looking with that plan?"

Once the gods and demigods heard this, they immediately fell silent.

There were serious expressions that appeared on all of their faces before they left explaining this matter to Percival.

He was the one that had ascended first, so he was the one that had taken the role of their leader when I wasn’t around. However, it didn’t seem like he was the one that was going to explain it.

Instead, he passed it off to Ikki.

When it came to their personal relationship, it was still as bad as it could ever be.

But when it came to their professional relationship, Ikki could be considered Percival’s right hand man. So when it came to matters that were as important as this, Percival would always leave the matters to Ikki.

Of course, there was a reason that he left it to Ikki instead of planning it himself.

Ikki had been the head of the Executioners, the one that had done all of the hard work for the Heroes Association.

So he was quite capable when it came to coming up with plans.
